AFC Preview

Tennessee Little League team. Haha. When does the crying start?

I went to the Ulao Music Festivus on Saturday night. It was a neat little event for the locals and such. As usual at these sort of things, I did not fit in with the crowd. I don't have ugly glasses, a mustache or beard, ugly pants, tight shirts, or any ugly shoe and sock combos. As you may or may not be able to see, the fires were ya-huge. The bands weren't bad either. My pictures didn't turn out. I've been getting really self-conscious about using the flash on my camera. There's nothing to give any scale to this, but the log on top of this pile had at least a 4 foot diameter.

The Dodgers bought the Sawks on Friday. Thanks, Obama! O: FB. Bobby V should be fired after season, too. I can't believe I advocated for him to be the Breer's manager at one point.

Election Season! Crazy far right wing guy on twitter is demanding I explain why I'm favoriting his tweets, or else! He's also really paranoid and thinks people are out to get his family. This is too much damn fun.

@atmeiller I know you're just kicking the tires & I don't take it seriously like I do others. All good. BUT WHY ARE YOU FAVORITING MY TWEETS

I think this trade is actually TEO of O:FB. Sure Gonzo is a good player, but his power numbers were way down and he obviously hated the Boston market and the media pressure here. Beckett was a cancer and was emulating Clemens at the end of his time in Boston. He just didn't care anymore. I think he'll be re-energized by going back to the NL. He would not have performed in the 2 years he had left on his contract here. Crawford has been a bust. He was awful last year and injury plagued this year. He was another guy who never looked comfortable in this market and under the weight of that huge, overpriced contract. I think he will be more valuable on an NL team where his speed will lend itself to some smallball. All these guys will do better outside of Boston. The Sox rid themselves of 3 underperforming players and $260 million in contracts and give theselves the chance to rebuild a winning team.

A German sports official died Monday a day after being struck in the throat by a javelin.The 74-year-old man was officiating at a youth meet in the western city of Duesseldorf when the incident happened late Sunday, police spokesman Andre Hartwig said

"If he is out of options, no matter the roster position they dont have to clear waivers"

" so i was right"

Nope. Options have nothing to do with these trades. If a player is out of options he has to clear waivers before you send him down. Also if you want to remove a player from your 40 man roster he must clear waivers. Options have nothing to do with waiver trades though.

"In possibly the most un-American story we’ve come across today, the mother of a Little Leaguer was fired from her job as an office manager for a CPA when she chose to take off from work and cheer on her son’s team in the West Regional."

"As reported by the Santa Rose Press-Democrat, Billie Ann Tomei, the mother of Petaluma (Calif.) National Little League star Cole Tomei and husband of the team's coach, Trevor, was fired for taking her vacation time to cheer on her family during the team's appearance in the San Bernadino region. Billie Ann had been serving as an office manager for a CPA, and with her boss out of town he refused to let her leave the office even though she had accrued enough vacation time to take the trip."

"Tomei's mother made the trip to Pennsylvania from California to cheer on Cole, but was to head home on the 19th so she could return home. Billie Ann flew with her so that she wouldn't have to fly alone"

only rich people fly round trip just so that someone won't have to fly alone.
